After a fun playdate at Graham and Conner's house this afternoon, Joe and Clara came home to change into their costumes. After we had Joe in his Yoda costume we realized that Clara wasn't going to last much longer and should be nursed, so we had Joe eat dinner too - with a bib to protect his costume. Clara needed to get to bed, so just Ted and Joe went out at first. We got in the wagon with a blanket and went to Graham's house first where we scored a few pieces of candy. From there we ran into Darby across the street, so we joined them for a few houses. It was great to see the two kids walking together and confidently up to the house to claim their treats. We bid adieu to Darby, and headed towards home. Julie was handing out candy while we passed by to hit up the neighbors - so we pulled a parent switcheroo (distracting Joe by letting him eat a piece of candy) and Julie took Joe to the last couple houses before parking the wagon and heading inside to count up the loot. You can see he did much better this year! He got to eat one more bite size piece of candy and was good about going off to his bath and story time. We can't wait for next year when Clara can go too!
